“I don’t believe in reincarnation, but from 4 PM on Nov. 17th 2009 to about 6 PM I did believed that Chris Lowell was Ben Franklin, America’s most famous entrepreneur and one if its first angel investors. So did the several hundred other entrepreneurs, advisors and investors attending the Angel Capital Summit. We’d originally asked Chris to speak for 45 minutes, but the audience wouldn’t let him go. It had been a long day. Most of the attendees had been cycling back and forth between investor presentations, networking and negotiations. As you might guess, this can get tiring fast. But the overall energy of the ACS was incredible, and much business was being done. As a reward for their diligence (due and otherwise), we’d invited Chris to come talk w/ us in a ‘town hall meeting’ setting all about the early history of entrepreneurs in this country, both before and after it became the United States. At a personal level, I thought this important stuff for people to know, and as the founder of the event I forced this idea through. I was rewarded for my efforts several fold. Chris’ presence and presentation marked PAID on anything that anyone attending the ACS thought that they might yet have been owed. As a wrap-up, the 2009 Angel Capital Summit was once again the largest investor fair in the U.S. Over a hundred thanked us for inviting ‘Ben’ and his 21st century avatar to the ACS. If you’re looking for a stress free choice for a speaker that will build your brand and brand loyalty for years to come, I’d heartily recommend Chris Lowell and ‘BenFranklinLive.org’ for any business gathering. On this note, please feel free to contact me for any additional information that you may need.”

“Thank you for performing at our fund-raiser. You helped motivate Borough Council to promise the support needed to keep our doors open. Performing for the oldest continuously operating public library in the country, a library inspired by Ben himself, couldn’t have been easy. Your knowledge and ability to bring Ben back to life was amazing. I was told by those in attendance that you were the best Ben Franklin they’d ever seen. Even though it has been over a year, we still talk about you and the excellent program you gave. You are a generous and inspiring speaker.”

“You were magnificent, through and through…you emphasized education, making a useful life through practical problem solving, and service to the common good…. an extraordinary day of learning! Thank you for nourishing the spirit of us all.”

“Christopher Lowell appeared as Benjamin Franklin for the Library of Hattiesburg, Petal and Forrest County, Mississippi and, simply put, he exceeded every expectation. Our grand opening that evening was the most successful program in the history of the Library. People were literally sitting on the floor (over 200 showed up for 150 chairs.) Chris’ attention to making sure he understood exactly what we wanted was impressive and the only question concerning his performance was who was most impressed: the teachers, Gordon Wood (a noted Franklin biographer) or me. Chris did a wonderful job, both in this prepared presentation of Franklin’s life and the more spontaneous Q & A with the audience. I would without hesitation encourage you have Chris appear as Benjamin Franklin at any public function.”

“Chris’s portrayal of Ben Franklin is an absolute show stopper! He is interesting, humouous, and thought provoking. He can tailor his presentation to your group’s interest, message or needs. He is a hugh value, travels well and is low maintenance. Speaks French fluently as did Mr. Franklin. You will love Christopher Lowell as Ben Franklin whether you are an American history buff or a a 1st timer! “– Spence Walden, General Manager, Red Lion Inn, Denver, CO
